The Indoor Environmental Quality -- Global Alliance seeks to serve as a global source for information, guidance and knowledge on indoor environmental quality. The Alliance was formed by an ad hoc committee appointed by ASHRAE 2013-14 President Bill Bahnfleth to explore ways in which industry groups could work together to address all aspects of indoor environmental quality and health.
The Alliance will provide guidance on the definition of acceptable indoor environmental quality, with an emphasis on thermal conditions and indoor air pollution, to ensure that the knowledge gathered from indoor environmental quality (IEQ) research is promulgated to and implemented by IEQ practitioners and regulatory bodies worldwide.
The mission of the alliance IEQ-GA is to provide an acceptable indoor environmental quality (thermal environment-indoor air quality-lighting-acoustic) to occupants in buildings and places of work around the world and to make sure the knowledge from research on IEQ gets implemented in practice.

IEQ Resources from Bill McQuade, 2025-26 Society President
ASHRAE President Bill McQuade announced his theme, "Healthy Buildings: Designing for Life," during the 2025 ASHRAE Annual Conference. “Balancing energy efficiency with good IEQ ensures that buildings are not only environmentally sustainable but also conducive to the health and productivity of their occupants, creating a win-win situation for both people and the planet.” McQuade’s theme highlights the interplay between energy efficiency and IEQ and presents practical solutions to enhance air quality, thermal comfort, acoustics, lighting and water quality in buildings.
In support of this theme, IEQ Resources are available at ashrae.org/ieqresources. Resources feature 11 videos, as well as resource pages which include nine subjects addressing IEQ, created to provide an overview of the importance of IEQ to building owners, occupants and policy makers.
